Review About Me
Diane began playing guitar and piano and singing at the age of 8 years old. Over the years, she developed her skills further by attending Berklee College of Music. She gained performance experience in the Mid Altantic area by playing at such venues as Baltimore Museum of Art and Walters Art Gallery. Though Diane can teach many different genres of music, her musical personal favorites are jazz and soul which had great influence on her style of playing.Diane loves music because it is a special form of personal expression and loves teaching music because she wants everyone to experience the feeling of positive expression and confidence. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned professional, Diane can help you expand and enhance your playing. Diane is excited to learn how she can help you reach your musical goals.

Private piano lessons can be useful for anyone, from individuals looking to pursue a professional career in music to people interested in learning for the love playing music as a personal goal.

Review:
You don't know what you're missing out on!
I started taking vocal lessons with Diane a little over a year ago. I was completely new to the idea of singing: I loved playing guitar and knew in my heart that music was what I wanted to do with my life, but I was shy and uncomfortable with my voice. The thought of singing in front of other people terrified me. Since then, Diane has not only taught me how to sing correctly, but guided me in finding how I want to express myself through vocals. She has pushed me to new heights I never thought I could reach, and then some. Because of her I was finally able to conquer my fears and sing at my first open mic night just a few weeks ago. She has allowed me to flourish artistically, and to me, that is priceless. She is an absolute master at her craft who excels far beyond any other music teacher I have taken lessons with-don't let your opportunity with her slip away! You don't know what you're missing out on. Andrew Michael Diane Postell wrote on Fri, 02 Aug 2024
I am Grateful for Her Help and Support!
I was introduced to Diane by a group of professional musicians with whom I was working. My goal, at the time, was to confidently work side by side with some experienced Jazz musicians who had become part of my circle of friends. I was originally classically trained, but wanted to enjoy making Jazz music with others. I heard Diane perform at some jam sessions and later at her own one woman show. She attended a gig where I was singing and sang a tune at my invitation. I carefully observed her approach and she is now my 'go to' choice for counseling, lessons and advice. She employs, promotes and teaches correct and safe vocal technique. Diane works in many different genres and can coach to all of them. She is a mentor to her students while striving to understand each person's goals and expectations. Diane knows the human voice and is able to isolate trouble spots and causes. The specific techniques and exercises she suggests to form better habits have helped me to begin to resolve the issues I caused by attempting to retrain myself to sing a completely different genre of music than I was originally trained for. Classes and lessons with Diane focus on helping you to use your voice to the best of its capacity to make the kind of music you would like to explore. I am honored to be the vocalist for three Big Bands and occasionally work with small jazz combos. I have worked with Diane privately and as part of her group voice classes. Learning in both of these settings has been extremely beneficial. I believe vocalists need to consistently return to coaching to maintain good and safe habits. Diane has allowed me to do that. I am grateful for her help and support. Alice S. Diane Postell wrote on Fri, 02 Aug 2024
